Tivoli was beautiful and a walk through the ancient town was special as well as the delightful lunch we shared. A real highlight of our trip

Ciao & Welcome to Italy Tours with Mauro! I have been involved in the Tour Industry for over 13 years now and look forward to sharing my Beautiful country, it's food, it's traditions and of course it's values on life with all of you. Before entering into the Tour Industry I had spent 15 years in the area of Italian culinary adventures. I have first hand knowledge to share with each of you regarding the different regions, their food, wines, cheeses and tasty treats on the side like olive oil, balsamic and the art of truffles! Not to mention the best Gelato in each hilltop town inside and out of Rome. I'm originally from the Eastern side of Italy on the Adriatic Sea, a region called Puglia. So I am no stranger to the best beaches, sea food and nature that Italy has to offer as well. I am young, energetic, fun spirited, honest and most of all always on time. I look forward to having an adventure with you and yours soon! 5 years as a Tour Director of Italian Tours for an American Tour Company based in Rome. 15 years in the Italian Food and Wine industry. I am not a certified Vatican Museum or Colosseum Guide.

Villa d'Este Gardens and more...
Overview of your Rome tour
Starting from your hotel in the center of Rome we will journey Eastward bound towards the Apennine Mountains & the region of Abruzzo. We will visit the Estate perched high above the city of Tivoli and a UNESCO World Heritage site called Villa d'Este'. It is a fine example of Renaissance architecture and the Italian Renaissance garden period of the 15th Century. Exploring both the remarkable works of Pirro Ligorio, who was responsible for the iconographic programs worked out in the Villa's frescos and the technical designs for the fountains by a Frenchman, Claude Venard, who was a manufacturer of hydraulic organs that we will hear playing during our visit. After experiencing the Villa and it's beautiful gardens, you will enjoy a true Roman Wine Tasting Lunch before returning to the Center of Rome.

Mauro was a wonderful guide. He accommodated my limited mobility and ensure we saw as much as possible in the limited time we had available. We would strongly recommend Mauro

This was our second tour with Mauro. We were very lucky in that Rome had a marathon the day we went to Tivoli. The villas were wonderful to see on a lovely day topped off with a delicious lunch. I recommend Mauro and Tivoli as a nice change from busy Rome
